At a loss....

I don't know what to write about. To be honest, I'm mentally exhausted right now. I want some me time but that's not going to happen for some time. At least until Christmas time. I booked time off during the holidays but someone is trying to fight that. Well I have the holiday time for half of it, so either they're going to give it to me or pay me out. Having a Christmas bonus like that would be nice though. I could afford a new laptop.

I'm been giving a laptop some serious thought, so I could blog in the hotel room, use my Vonage USB Key and yes play City of Heroes as well.

I wish I had something else to say, be my witty/smart ass self, but right now there's no energy left for that part of my brain.

Did I mention that I have to fly back to Regina on Sunday? At least it's only till Tuesday. Then again, they've been talking about me going back in January, so that laptop is starting to look good.

I'm tired of this place.

I want to go home. I miss my couch, and my stuff. I miss the cool people I know. I even miss the pain in the asses. Ok I don't miss them but you get my meaning. I fly back on Wednesday and come back on Sunday.

I WAN'T TO GO HOME NOW!!!

My Trip to Regina Part II

Well I managed to escape the yucky Howard Johnson's in Regina. The paint peeling of the walls and ceiling and even the housekeep blew big time. They never cleaned. They just made the bed. The one loss was the bed though. It was a nice soft bed, while the bed in the new hotel wasn't as nice.

Anyway the new room is great. I absolutely adore it. I'll take some pics with my camera phone but I doubt that it will the room justice. So the Regina Inn in Regina gets 2 thumbs up.

I'm in the business center and some dumbass just walked in. Hey asshole, take your laptop to your room. There's free Internet from the room. Now if I could only get a laptop and City of Heroes, I would be set.

I'm not going to go into how work is doing (you don't want to know), but the nice thing is everyone going out to dinner. We all have a great time. Good laughs and lots of cheer. That alone is making the trip worth it.

Anyway I need to get some shut eye for tomorrow. My mom and dad are still not sure if they will be coming down from Hudson Bay (and the town is nowhere near the bay, I think there was a Hudson Bay trading post there). If they do come down then I end up doing the casino thing. I'll let everyone know how much money I lost :)

Yes, we are disgusting.

I'm doing my "thing" in the bathroom in my hotel room and I look up to see a full reflection of myself. I am now watching myself pee from another person's point of view.

I'm sorry ladies. We do look vile and disgusting like that and you should indeed cover your eyes and not look at the bad bad digusting man. Yuck.

My adventures in Regina. Part I

I'm not at the new warehouse site and I have a PC up and running. It's been a slow day with me contacting people and checking the site and blaa blaaa work bullshit.

Regina is a DULL city. Dull Dull Dull. Did I mention Dull? Anyway there's only contract people here and 1 other company guy. He's telling the company people to get back to work. Apparently they're behind. BIG SURPRISE!!

The hotel is pretty lame. It's kinda dumpy but the beds are really soft. Far better than what I have at home. These beds were created for some serious sleeping, or some serious sex. I mean these beds were made for humping. Major Humping.

Whew; the company owner was walking around so I had to stop typing for a second. This weekend my mommy and daddy are suppose to come to Regina to see me, if other things don't prevent it. I'm kind looking forward to seeing them and it will be nice to spend some time with them.

Oh, for some strange reason, they've put me in a double. I have 2 beds in my room and they tell me that its the same rate as a single. So I can sleep in a different bed tonight if I want. Maybe I have a choice between the hard bed and the soft bed? I'll let everyone know tomorrow.

I'm so glad that I have this work PC to use right now because the "PC" in the "Business Center" sucks. It's running Windows 98. YUCK YUCK YUCK. Actually I think its the computer from Lost, where they had to enter the numbers every X number of minutes.

That's all I have now, so I'll fill you in more tomorrow, when the guys from Sasktel arrive. Woooo.

My 2 Bytes.

Yuck.

I'm in Regina I feel like crap. The hotel PC is a relic from the cold war and I have to pick someone up from the airport in an hour. Yuck.

I'm gonna be SOOO bored out there.

Today it occurred to me that my net access is going to be limited when I’m in Regina. That is going to suck I even tried to hint to my IT bosses in Toronto that they should send me a laptop but that didn’t work out. I’m even considering renting a laptop. I would never buy a laptop unless it was a new Mac and then I would (geek talk geek talk geek talk). While I will have some ability to go online at work, the part that’s really going to suck is no City of Heroes.

I know everyone is rolling their eyes right now but here’s the deal. I have friends on that game. Friends that I chat with regularly and I’m going to miss them. I did some checking and there is a complementary PC in the business centre which is available to guests for free but I doubt that they will let put my game on it.

I’m not sure what else I could do while I’m in Regina. There is a fancy casino in there so I might check it out once. Then again, I might do well enough in the casino to afford a new laptop, then again, Angelina Jolie might know on my hotel room door and force herself onto me and demand that I make wild passionate sex with her. Probably not going to happen.

Anyway that’s all that I can think about talking about right now so I’ll call it a night.

There's some strange things goin on in my game.

Normally I keep my City of Heroes stuff on another blog because I don't want to bore anyone but there are somethings which need to be brought to everyone's attention.

First I want to know is when did bare ass become a regular thing in the game. City of Heroes isn't suppose to be like that, and no I don't have a a screenshot from the front.

Also, some of the developers of the game have a sick sense of humour. Someone decided that my toon should look like a damn chicken. The worst part was all the people sending me tells saying "BAK BAK" and asking me to lay an egg. This isn't right people. While I still enjoy playing City of Heroes, I must say that I'm very disappointed people.

I know stuff.

The one thing that is a side affect of my job is I know things. Sure I about computers and other technical items like that, but now I know things...before other people find out. I now have access to the inner circle. I mean management stuff. The worst part is that I know juicy stuff now and I can't say a word. I'm not sure if its a test but it driving me crazy. I WANT TO TALK, but I can't.

All I can do is keep quiet and take personal pride in that I "know" something, but what fun is it to know something if I can't tell anyone? Grrrr.

Well at least I can take comfort that people will know very soon. So i can keep a secret, even if its killing me.

The missing post

I could have sworn I wrote something here. WHAT HAPPENED!!!!

Don't ring, you damn phone.

I was sorta busy yesterday no I never blogged. I did other things like work, call people and play City of Heroes. Basically I didn’t blog because…..I didn’t.

Remember how I talked about the company issuing me a cell phone how cool it was? Well I take it back, it’s a pain in the ass. O received a couple of calls from one of my bosses over the weekend and last night I received 2 calls (after 11:00pm). It’s becoming a serious pain in the ass. To be fair, these calls were all about major issues and a big system problem that occurred last night, so it was something that I did need to know. In fact, there’s going to be a conference call later in the day to talk about the issue.

What I’m starting to worry about now, is people calling me about stupid little problems at 3:00am. Stuff like, “The printer won’t print, there are no lights on the printer” ”Is it plugged in?” “Whoops, got it, CLICK”. If I get a call like that, heads are going to roll.

Oh did I mention that this phone has the worst ring tone ever? I guess it’s effective because when I hear it, I rush to the phone to shut the damn ringer off. The problem is that it’s the ONLY ring on the phone and I doubt I could justify buying an additional ring tone to the company by saying “the default tone really sucks”.

I remember thinking that the company phone was a sort of a status symbol, but now…..I just hope I don’t get another call at 11:00pm at night. They rely on me to take care of things. I guess I’m a victim of my own success.

Another trip, a company cellphone and a thank you.

Well I just got the word today that I’m going to be spending a week in Regina, and that includes a weekend. On top of that, I’ll be going back again in January. It looks like head office really does have some faith in me. So I’m going to be supporting both Calgary and Regina IT wise. Between that and the new cellphone the company issued me, it looks like I’m a real professional yahoo.

I’ll be honest; I’m feeling pretty good about all this. Everything is coming together. I’m proud of myself. Now if I my paycheque could look the same way, but I’m going to have to wait till January I think. Though everyone is suppose to get a raise this pay, in order to meet the rising salaries in Calgary. I have yet to hear a thing about my raise though. Oh well, I’ll just have to wait and see.

That’s always the key thing though right? Money? Even though the traveling is going to be nice, and the paid hotel room, the paid meals (I get $44 a day per diem), and the rental car. The car rentals are always nice. I don’t own my own vehicle right now so having work pay for me to drive around is a real treat. Hopefully with the pay raise and getting on salary will finally afford me the luxury of being about to buy a car, even a used car would be nice.

So today I don’t have a rant or a rave; instead I just want to say is THINGS ARE FINALLY HAPPENING FOR ME.

I know that not everyone has that kind of luck I’ve had in the past year, but whatever you do, don’t give up. Just keep on trying and your efforts will be noticed. My opportunity came from someone who’s no longer works for the company. I haven’t heard from her since she left but I do know that wherever she is, she will be a success; probably a far greater success than myself, and I do not say that because of a lack of confidence in my abilities, but for the great respect I have for her. Thank you C.B. It was your confidence in my that allowed me to get to where I am today and I am eternally grateful.
